How to create a luxurious interior on a small budget

1. Invest in basic furnishings

For a room to look presentable, it is not necessary to choose absolutely all the details from the premium segment. But you shouldn't save on the most important ones. For example, you can buy a high-quality and expensive sofa in the living room, and a dining table in the kitchen or dining room.

At the same time, Farmer advises not to purchase too trendy furniture. It should be a long term investment and not go out of style next season.

The things you invest in should be timeless, able to grow with you.

2. Choose quality decor

Investments do not have to be made in furniture, especially if you already have it: be it antique or inexpensive items that you don't want to part with. In this case, you should look at small, high-quality interior details. Even a good pillow or bedspread can take the overall look of a room to the next level.

3. Don't be afraid of color

Wall color can add drama or chic to a space. The main thing is to skillfully combine shades.

Life is too short to live in a white box (unless it's a special design move, of course).

Of course, it is also important to choose a good paint and do the job competently.

4. Layering textures

In home decoration, different textures can be layered in the same way as in clothes. For example, in the photo above, faux fur is combined with textile upholstery.

Farmer advises not to be afraid of such bold decisions: they add luxury to the space and indicate the taste of the owner.

5. Mix styles

It is very easy to make a room faceless and insipid by succumbing to monotony. This applies to color, texture, and pattern in the interior. Farmer says the interior will look good and expensive if these elements are different from each other.

The most luxurious interiors often combine different furniture, textiles and finishes.

Among other things, to make your home luxurious, you also need to have taste. Otherwise, even the most expensive things will not be saved. If you are in doubt about your design skills, then perhaps the best solution is to hire a professional who can bring these tips to life.
